Hong Kong
What are important things to cover in an essay on Hong Kong’s economic history?
Or anyone know any good books/references I can use 4 an essay on Hong Kong’s economic history or general history? My particular topic or thesis I guess is that Hong Kong’s once infamous opium base played a role in the evolution of what their free-market economy is today. I need to outline my essay and want to make sure that I cover everything that’s important. (events, dates, whatever it may be) Thanks a lot!
You obviously would be knowing about the changing trends in land use pattern, demand, etc. Do mention about international firms coming in. Also make a point to mention about famous economists.
